Belgian biathlete Maya Cloetens reflects on the impact of climate change on winter sports as she prepares for the upcoming Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy. With evidence of climate change evident in Grenoble, France, where she trained, the future of reliable winter sports venues is in jeopardy. Researchers indicate that the number of suitable locations for hosting Winter Olympics is decreasing due to warming temperatures and inconsistent snowfall. The International Olympic Committee is considering changes to the scheduling and locations of the games to adapt to these challenges. Snowmaking technology is being increasingly relied upon, but it comes with environmental concerns. The IOC is emphasizing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact in future games.
